name the best book and state the reason?

Answer 1

This is really an impossible question to answer; it depends more on personal preference than on a factual response. For me, I believe the greatest work of fiction is Bleak House, by Charles Dickens. Perhaps most importantly, it is a very interesting read with no dull moments. Many of these so-called "masterpieces" might have great ideas, but are INCREDIBLY boring to read. And Bleak House does have these great ideas, does have incredible depth, and does present a masterful thesis. Yet on top of all this, it is quite well-written, with some of the finest prose any English-speaking author has even put to paper and great comedic and dramatic moments.

In brief, the greatest work of fiction is Charles Dickens' Bleak House, because it manages to be both insightful and entertaining at once.

Answer 2

This is a controversial question that cannot be answered. There is no "Best Answer" it is based on opinions....

However, my favorite book is Pride and Prejudice by Jane Austen. I enjoy it because it teaches a good lesson worth learning. I love how Elizabeth Bennet is so modern and free thinking. The complex characters keep me engaged no matter how many times I read it, and I think of a new theory whenever I read it. It truly never gets old. The off set of Jane and Elizabeth with their horribly ridiculous family is the perfect setting to have high money characters come in and test the boundaries of family love and tolerance against social status and propriety. And who doesn't enjoy a good, wholesome, DECENT love story? The way Darcy and Elizabeth conduct themselves proves true love. They don't NEED each other, they just want the other there, which makes it that much sweet and bewitching. The fact that there is so many secrets among the family causes me to want a family of openness also. It is just all so touching to me. The perfection of the ending doesn't make it another stereotypical happy peppy book that there is so many of now a days. There is a conflict, there is deep thought, love, ignorance, judgment, forgiveness, and THEN a very much deserved happy ending. I recommend this book to anyone. Happy reading!

Answer 5

This is such a personal question. Every person will have his or her favourite author and book. There are so many categories. Personally, one of my favourite books is "Th Climates of Love" by Andre Maurois, first published in 1928. It is a very good book.
I like all kinds of books. Harry Harrison is one of my favourite authors. His "Eden" Trilogy is one of the most imaginative alternate history saga. He is a genius. Another Trilogy on the same lines by him is "The Hammer and the Cross" series. I can go on and on, but this should suffice for starters.

Answer 6

The best is a hard pick. At this point I'm going to have to go with Joyce's Portrait of the Artist as a Young Man; excellent in its influence (though his next novel, Ulysses, was certainly his major influential work), and one of the single most beautiful things I have ever read.

Answer 7

I have to go with To Kill a Mockingbird by Harper Lee. It evoked a time and a place in the US, making you feel like you were there. The characters were beautifully drawn and believable. It captured the inner workins of the small town and the Finch family. It also dealt with the issue of racism in that time and place in a believable and heartwrenching way. And there were surprises throughout.. Obviously I loved it.
